Default When to divide Siberian Iris?

zxcvbob expounded:

I have a few clumps of Siberian iris in a neglected corner of my
vegetable garden. I'm trying to clean it up and get all the grass out.
The iris are surprisingly healthy in spite of being overrun with
grass. Can I dig them now, pull all the grass stollens (sp?) out, and
move them (the irises) to the flower bed? Or should I wait until fall?
Thanks.


Siberian iris are tough, I think you'd be find digging them out now
and moving them; just make sure to keep them well watered through the
hot summer months. The tall bearded iris are best dealt with at the
end of July (in my area, anyway).
